@taylorlorenz
So the reason I'm more into Chinese AI solutions than the far more expensive US versions must be because I'm no longer (for several years now) on TikTok or IG!

@taylorlorenz but that's ok though, if the rich capitalist are the ones funding to spread propaganda and misinfo using the billions of tax cuts they were gifted with and the government doesn't do anything to stop it, that's all above board, democratic, free speech rights and what not.

But if another government, most preferably not in club West's good books, spreads the same messages using their means for cheaper, then yeah it's all propaganda and misinformation and is not democratic at all.

@taylorlorenz #AI is #clankers all the way down, and that’s why #wankers love it *so much!*

But #American wankers don’t like #Chinese clankers!

@blwinnemore @taylorlorenz - similarly, if God is so great why does he need influencers - on street corners, on TV, in politics or even in great big buildings supposedly built for him?
Shouldn’t his omnipresence be enough to convince us?
